REMOTE
Distant
Farmed

When something is "remote," it is not close. Now, for this reason, sometimes things that are very isolated are called remote. For instance, we can refer to a "remote desert island." This refers to an island that is very far away from any civilization (or any land whatsoever). The words "rural" and "farmed" do not necessarily imply being remote. They may be, but that is not necessarily the case. The best option provided is "distant." A "remote control" for the TV is given this name because it allows you to control it from a distance.
